Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) Adam Deacon, winner of the Bafta Rising Star Award, explores the nightmarish condition of fame, starring as a Premiership footballer who finds himself used as a cashpoint by former homies, and having his privacy invaded by scandal-sniffing tabloids. Rated: 1/5 Mar 9, 2012 Full Review Empire Magazine Rated: 2/5 Mar 9, 2012 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian No amount of yoofsploitation grit could obscure the moral guidance in this story, making it a kids' film in spirit, if not certificate. Rated: 3/5 Mar 8, 2012 Full Review Mark Adams Daily Mirror (UK) A bit too heavyhanded as hoodies hit the football pitches. Rated: 2/5 Mar 15, 2012 Full Review Philip French Observer (UK) Nothing rings true, not even the tones on the characters' mobile phones. Mar 11, 2012 Full Review Matthew Turner ViewLondon Poorly directed and often excruciating to watch, this is a painfully pedestrian British drama with a simplistic, finger-wagging script and an awkward central performance from BAFTA Rising Star Adam Deacon. Rated: 1/5 Mar 9, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
